Weekly Summary
Total Miles: 55.27
At the beginning of the week I was totally exhuasted so I backed off on my more aggressive plan for 67ish miles for the week. I only did one double run day and that was near the end of the week after I started feeling better. I was definitely fighting something off and I had stomach issues for a number of days. I'm also not surprised by the fatigue as I have not been doing anything much over 40 miles a week for a long long time and I had been ramping up the miles pretty hard over the last few weeks. Probably time for a slight dip down. I was pleasantly suprised to still have finished in the mid 50's and I was able to get in one good speed session and one good long run which were key. I will see how next week goes and plan out my runs day by day.
